I do realize that the two different crops give you different feeling of the person, but I posted the tighter crop first since that is the effect I was after, the ice like stare.

This image speaks to me - the whole composition is very well done. Color, saturation detail, cropping. I like the tight crop-nothing missing for me, it just leaves some mystery - like the log on his cap say, I am wondering. This is an unusual, memorable face - what a story there must be there. I just looked at a model lying in the mud - I didn't get it.
This I get, well done.
Thank you Ron. I appreciate your words
